Back of the chart plotter

I have spent this week making up the enclosure for the rear of the chart plotter, I cut out the ply and epoxied the whole thing together again I have been using materials that I have to hand the ply is some 4mm WBP that I had left from the headlining project but as it will be covered with laminate which is 4mm thick it should be sufficiently rigid, the framing is left over merenti hardwood from the heads door frames.


Reverse side of enclosure


Laminate applied


Final piece of laminate applied

The laminate still needs to be faired round the edges so that the enclosure is a snug fit, also the opening for the access door needs to be cut out this will be this weekends homework job along with finishing off the door, I have cut out the hockey stick section edge trim it just needs staining and varnishing and the door hardware fitted.

This has been a bit of a short post which doesn't reflect the work done on the enclosure cutting and fitting to the structure of the boat which is neither straight nor square which can be somewhat time consuming
